Randall now the benefit OF 8
generous appraisemeng snd CT the
same time putting MIN
on his responsibility IS Democrat. Mr..
Carlisle has expressed the opinion that

sons why his trust in Mr.. Randall is not
misplaced.

e. Would Abolish the Oath in Law.

Said a prominent lawyer the other day:
''The oath In law should, l think, be
abolished. 1t has retained its place upon
telling of the truth, but it does not.
have been for thirty years constantly
about courts of law, and I unhesitatingly
say that any person conscientious enough
to regard an oath will tell the truth
without one, and for those who may be
restrained by the fear of punishment for
perjury the statutes can be so amended
as to make lying upon the witness stand
or the subscription of false affidavits in
legal proceedings punishable by the same
penalties now attached to perjury.
During the thirty years that | have
named l have carefully watched the
course of legal morality, and l tell you
that perjury becomes daily more COM
mon and the oath lighter and more per-
functOry. The clerk drawls out the form
of oath without pause or punctuation.
The witness, with falsehood deliberate
and rehearsed in his heart drops his
right hand, takes the stand, the lie comes
gibly to his lips, and some mans prop
erty, reputation or liberty are sworn
away for dollars or for grudge.
''The incOnsiderate profanity of the
angry or drunken man Is harmless when
compared with the indOlent Indifference
with which officers administer and the
black perjury with which witnesses take
the oath. If we cannot make lying in
judicial proceedings less, let us at least
make it more decent and less profane.-
